Title: Is there a way to pass arguments to ar (static library)
Post by: mushakk on June 18, 2013, 06:30:41 pm

I'm wondering is there is a way to pass arguments to the "ar" command, in the same way we can pass arguments to the linker.

Thanks in advance!

No, in the project options. You have to modify the compiler's commands in the advanced settings of the compiler.

Then it can't be "per project"  :(

Do you know if there is some plan to do this in the future?

You should first start with providing a use-case for this. You are the first asking for this feature since C::B is alive and kicking.

As a "work-around" you could just make a copy of a compiler, adjust the settings in the copied compiler and then use this for the projects where you need specific parameters. This leaves all other projects using the "default" compiler as-is.
